CoRF Highland Festival Gathering

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Since some of you are headed to Estes Park for the Longs Peak Scottish Highland festival, I think it would be awesome if we can all meet up there. If we can pick a central location like the Living History/Trebuche' area around a specific time. Toki and I are open and plan on being there at least Saturday and maybe both days. It's a quick shot for us at 35 miles up Big Thompason Canyon as we live in Loveland.

I hope we can cordinate a time and place so we can all gather so we can have a Mini Renaissance Invasion

Hope you all have a great week

So we've got two similar threads going ...

I'll be there!  Probably NOT in barg, but at the very least I'll be wearing my tam and Columba plaid!

[CapnJack]

Well, I definitely plan on being there!  I'll probably be handing out fliers for the Full Sails Buccaneer Bash, so I don't know whether I'll be dressed as a pirate (not Jack Sparrow), or in my once-SCA-garb of a 12th century Celt.  We'll see.

[Mischief Snicklebritches]

ok what are the exact dates on this again?

[Blushing]

The festival is Sept. 4-7 (Thursday through Sunday) but all the major events and such are on the weekend.

It really is worth the drive.  And for those in and around Denver, it isn't that far of a day trip.

[CapnJack]

Perhaps I should clarify that the day I plan to be there is Saturday.  How 'bout the rest of ye?

[Avan]

I'm Planning on being there all weekend.  I'll see what I have available to be wearing.  Hope to pick up a clan Gregor kilt this year.

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Saturday for sure and possibly Sunday.

See Toki and I have it easy, this one is close to us as we live at the base or Gateway as we call it of the Big Thompson and Rocky Mountain National Park.

I'm not sure if I will wear my cheap Irish dress, or just go mundane, Toki will be mundane until he can afford his families tarton print and and that time I will be going Scottish to represent him instead of my Irish heritage.

I'll try my bestestest to make it, since I don't live all that far from Estes Park (Fort Collins), but I'll have to see how the money situation is and that whole silly college classes thing.

[Demetrius]

I don't have a cheap Irish dress- I have to envy yours...

Utilikilt!!

Anyway, I suggest we all meet on the lawn next to that thing by the tent like we were going to last year.

What THING by the tent on the lawn. There are so many tents and a Thing could be anyTHING, like say ME, or that piece of thing called trash, or some Englishman posing as a Scotsman, and since Toki and I had no Idea where you were all planning on meeting, you've got me SO confused 

I suggest the Thing down by the lake that tosses things out into the thing with water since that Thing is esier to find... I think!

I'm pretty sure that was his intention. 

[Demetrius]

They have water?

What festival did I go to last year?

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

They have water?

What festival did I go to last year?

Well it must not have been the Longs Peak Scottish Higland Festival as it has always been right next to Lake Estes and there is a tiny section on the south next to the faire grounds that also has part of the lake where they toss Bowling bowls from the TREBUCHET" Oh I forgot you always ave to yell that when a TREBUCHET fires off a round.

I think you must have been at the Scottish Terrier Highland games where the little Scotty dogs prance about in kilts and tiny bagpipes stapped to them. it is cute, but not as cute as say... a Man in a Kilt which there are plenty of them at the Highland games.

Oh and if you wish you can wear my Irish dress, I'll go mundane, or maybe if I could just find my old kilt I'd go as Wilma Wallace, that was Williams alter ego.

[Blushing]

Demetrious should teach classes ... he doesn't need a faire to run amok!

I should be at the festival both days ...
